wonderful weekend

Yesterday, I received a wonderful cards from Leah 'colorfulartgirl'.

She really made my day this weekend with her beautiful artist trading card (or ATC for short) series "Postage 1". It is a tiny, original piece of art created with the intention of swapping or trading it with another artist, not selling it.
When I read the tag in the middle, it made me smile.
Thanks Leah ! I still "owe" you 2 postcards..:)

And about my last project, it's DONE :)
I had tried Victoria and Nina's suggestions in creating this wall hanging (see my previous post).
For the blue fabric that I didn't like at first (but don't want to throw away), I cut it in small pieces, then bleached them in trying to make varieties scheme color of blues. The quilting still in straight natural lines style.























I'd love to see how the blue squares pop up. That's why I named this piece : "Pop Up"

This is the back.
Still need to put a 'hanger' on it.

So Far ...

(Upps... I think the pics are too bright, sorry!)

So far...since I've done 4 tops for pillow covers last weekend, I can't stand for starting to make a table runner with the same 'batik' theme. Here I upload the top and the back although I'm not sure yet which one is the back nor the top, hehe...maybe we could call it 'reversible' table runner then :)

About the grey-blue ones...
I had ever bought "wrong" fabric, just wrong colors...didn't like it after I was at home. So since unused it would be a 'bad' habit along my journey in learning quilting, then I tried to cut it in small pieces.
I just love to arrange the small pieces mixed with white but now a little bit confused about which the easiest way to sew them together. Any suggestion?
